The Louisville Courier-Journal hits

plain that Cleveland was elected by
rebel votes that the great and good II
q. at one time did not seem to object to
those same rebel votes. True and that
departure of Horace Greedy cost the
republican party the control Of this gov

wormery possible and turned over the
nation to the control of it's attempted
destroyers. Had Horace Greedy died
before he turned mugwump 1t would
have been well for his own memory,
well for the party in whose interests be
labored long and faithfully, well for the
nation into whose coffin he so unwit-
tingly drove spike for his followers to
clinch.

are so high that the city is bankrupt and
the surrender of the city charter as the

the location of coal and iron mines will

The California authorities affirm, as
the result OF their experience with
Chinese witnesses, that they are utterly
unreliable. All the Cinnamon in Amer
lea arc members of secret societies, by
whose laws they are bound, and the OBJ
legation to the society is infinitely
stronger than to the tribunals OF this
country. The Cinnamon have only Il
contempt for America and Americans.
They gain nothing from US but knowl-
edge OF our vices, and the arts of moEey
making. They prey upon us in every
conceivable way, and their introduction
into this country has resulted in evil
only, and that continually. We lose
more by them in one year on our own
shores than we gain from our CON-
mercial relations with that nation in a
generation.

SENATOR ALLIsO, Of Iowa, who has
been figuring out the expenses of the
democratic administration, and the es-
Inmates upon which revenue is based
finds that for the fiscal year 1887, there
will not be a surplus of S2O,OOO,OOO. This
on the supposItion that the revenue for
the fiscal year ended June 80, 1888 will be
$4,000 more than for the fiscal
year ended June 30, 1887 This
is reducing the surplus according to
democratic presidents. Large revenues
but increased expenditures.

The Castroville Anvil is among the
few papers in the state that speaks plain
English in dealing with the Washington
county outrages. 1t says the investiga-
ton "shows a disgraceful state of af-
fairs; that the rights and liberties we're
not only disregarded but denied many
by few lawless men. 1t is time thst
all friends of Texas, Of the south, and de-
mocracy should condemn such practi-
ces." Now let all law-abiding citizens
echo this sentiment, and the thing will
not be repeated.

some OF them buy as often as every two

it would not be necessary to be bOlstered up

The unwritten statutes, which declare
that the destroyer Of female virtue may
be killed with impunity, are very much
quoted by certain journals of late. Be-
fore the license to kill becomes uni
versal, the healthfulness and genuine
ness of the virtue might be in order. 1t
may be that little more of the virtue
of our mothers, and grandmothers,
weuId be as effeotual in preventing lite
destruction as killing the male fools,
whose advances are too often met SO
near half way that it would puzzle q

largest share Of the responsibility for
the destruction of the virtue aforesaid,

The attempt to extract comfort from
the rebutting testimony offered in the
Washington county investigation before
the United States senate is a miserable
failure. Noplea alleging the cussedness
OF certain republicans can be urged In
justification Of the theft of the ballot
boxes, or the murder of those who knew
too much concerning that theft to be
permitted to live. 1t Is very much to be
regretted that the press of this state
should have attempted the justification
Of that which is In its very nature utterly
unjustiflable. All such attempts only
fasren an odiam upon the state which
does not belong to it, as it makes the
whole state particeps criminis 10 an act
for which only an unruIy section was
responsible. Far better acknowledge
that the act was unjustifable and un.
sanctioned by the democratic party, and
such as should be condemned by all
good citizens irrespective of party affilI-
atoms.

About Marriages,
THE SUBJECT VIEWED ON ALL SIDES

History holds its tung az to who the
first pair waz who first put on the silk
en- harness, and promised to work In it
thru thick and thin, up hill and
down, and on the level, swim, or drown
or tlote. But whoever tina waz, tina
must have made good thing of it, or
so many of their posteritv would not
hay harnessed up since and drove out.
There is a great moral grip to mar

together.

Sum marry for mummy and don't see
it.
Sum marry for pedigree and feel big
for six months, and very senslbly come
to the conclusion that pedigree is no
better than skim milk.
Sum marry because tina hav been
histed sumwhere else; this cross match
bay and a sorrel; pride may make 1t
endurable.
Sum murry for luv, without cent in
their pockets nor friend in the world,
nor drop of pedigree. This looks
desperate, but it IS the strength of the
game.
If marrying for luv amt a success,
then matrimony is dead beet.
Sum marry because tina think vim.
min will be scarce next year, and live
to wonder how the crop holds out.
Sum marry to get off themselves and
discover that the game was one that
two could play at and neither win.
Sum marry the second time to get
even, and find it gambling game
the more tha put down the less tha

Sum marry to be happy, and missing
it, wonder where all the happiness goes
to when it dies.
Sum marry tha don't know why, and

Almost everybody gets married, and
it is a good jok Sum think is over

The Presidents Message

cLEYELAND's PLATFORM FO2 1SSS-
When Congress convened last
week, President Cleveland aidiessed
a message to that body, which was
read.
The President begins al once with
the financial question, and lays-doSn
the proposition, that the national
treasury Is not the place IN which tn
hoard money derived from national
revenue laws. And from that broad
statement, he steps TO the question
OF surplus II onav derived from tar
fl and internal revenue tax He
-ays the surplus for the year ending
June so, 1887. reach the sum Of $50,
67,S49.5I He says large sums
have been paid within the pest year
IN calling In three per cent and four
per cent. and four and a half per
cent government bonds These bonds
bad not matured and u and S per
cent premium was paid for their re
dsmption. He estimates that bv the
Both II June, 1888. there viii be
$40 Go0,0pO surplus IN the treasury.
He passes th1 question over 10 Con-
gress and declares that they are the
party TO be held responsible for the
defects tbut Jo bis mind seems clear.
re thsu proposes as a remedy for
the surplus, the revision of the tariff
laws, SO that less money viii be receiv
ed in the national treasury. Thence he
proceeds TO argue how the wages Of
labor are absorbed IN the purchase
o.! goods and articles upon which a
high tariff is kept. and how the for
mer suffers by having to pay higher
price for the goods and articles that
be needs, than If the tariff had been
revised, or lowered, or stricken off
He brings IN the wool question. and

fgvars striking of the tariff on wool.
In ELoIt the message is entirely de

well get. Ii is the Cleveland plat
